Word:"Ride"
Team Arrow was closing up shop for the night, with Roy already gone to meet Thea and Diggle getting ready to head out. Oliver could have left at the same time, but Felicity was still hard at work on her computer. He must have gotten lost watching her because Digg managed to sneak up on him.
"Hey man, did you want a ride home?"
"I'm just going to wait for Felicity so no thanks." If he had been paying more attention he would have noticed the smirk that crossed Digg's face. Oliver wasn't paying as much attention to his surroundings tonight because he was slightly nervous. Tonight he needed to ask Felicity to come on a business trip with him, but the last time was Russia. And she still hadn't let that go.
Only once Digg had left and the door slammed behind him did Oliver approach Felicity. It took a minute of him saying her name and poking at her arm to pull her out of the code she was working on. She jumped.
"Jeez! Can't you just walk up to someone?" Oliver smiled.
"I did walk up to you."
"Oh." Oliver leaned against her desk.
"So I hadn't told you yet, but I'm going on a business trip to Turkey and I need you to come with me." He could see the storm clouds brewing behind her eyes.
"No." She was solid in her answer leaving no room for argument. Oliver opened his mouth. "No." She repeated. "Every time a plane gets involved with the two of us it hasn't worked out too well. I mean first I had to jump out of a plane, and then there was that whole Slade thing. Oh! We can't forget about Russia. A plane ride with you…" He didn't let her finish her sentence, his lips trapping any other words. He broke the kiss and looked at her again.
"Please?" He tried breaking out puppy dog eyes hoping they might help.
"Maybe." She answered. He smiled. At least it wasn't a no anymore.
